CACHALOTE ITINERARY - 8 DAY CRUISE
| Wednesday: | |
| am: | Baltra airport |
| pm: | Plazas: This island is full of life. There are colonies of sea lions and land iguanas. On the steep banks it is possible to see a great number of birds such as nesting tropic birds and fork-tailed seagulls, but most of all, enjoying the beautiful view from atop the steep banks or strolling along the base of the cliff is an extremely pleasurable experience. The Opuntia cacti grow here too and the vegetation changes color according to the season of the year. |

For most, this will be your only opportunity to see the giant Galapagos tortoises. The Charles Darwin Research Station conducts and facilitates research in the Galapagos Islands and the Galapagos Marine Resources Reserve of Ecuador.

The water is nearly mirror-calm, and you often use paddles instead of the loud panga engines to move around the area. Transfer to Baltra Airport |
